IMPACT NEWS
Mad Science at PES –
Our next Mad Science program is now taking registrations. This program begins Monday, January 23 from 3 – 4:15PM and will run for 6 weeks. Its focus, this time, is “Jump Into the Future”. Check out their website madscience.org to register or for additional information on this program.
We are hoping to have 2 separate classes...one for K-2 and one for 3-5 but we must have 12 children registered for each group in order to proceed. Scholarships can be provided..contact Robin for more information.
During the first sessions, Impact provided snacks for the children as well as supervision for each class. The instructors found this very helpful and we would like to provide this opportunity again. If you are interested in helping out during one of the 6 classes, let Impact know.
